Ganapati (Lord
Ganesha) is not just a god, he is a part of life for every
Hindu. Sukha karta, Vighna harta (The one who brings joy and destroys bad
luck) is how this lovely god is described in the Hindu mythology. Every holy
function in a Hindu family starts with the Ganesha Pooja.

This picture shows Ganesha in all his splendor. It took me three months to
paint this picture, because I wanted it to be really perfect. And it did pay
off.
